One piece was the first manga I read back when it was published in Shonen Jump. I was hooked on it then, and have been watching it ever since. I prefer to watch it now, rather than reading it, because watching One Piece provides life to each member that reading does not. Hearing all their voices is more soothing than knowing what happens next. Hands down best anime, IMO.

For my review I will compare One Piece to two extremely popular anime just to give you a feel of what you're driving into. Those two anime will be Naruto and the fresh and hot My Hero Academia. Naruto is what thrust me into the anime scene, the 100 or whatever episodes of when they were kids were amazing! The fights (especially during the exams with Gaara and Orichimaru and Lee etc etc) were well

For my review I will compare One Piece to two extremely popular anime just to give you a feel of what you're driving into. Those two anime will be Naruto and the fresh and hot My Hero Academia. Naruto is what thrust me into the anime scene, the 100 or whatever episodes of when they were kids were amazing! The fights (especially during the exams with Gaara and Orichimaru and Lee etc etc) were well put together! The story line was interesting and the characters were all so unique you could always find someone different to entertain you! However! As one would progress into Naruto Shippuden when they're adults, it becomes less and less interesting. The akatsuki is the best part of the show, but even they started to become lame. Here's why.... it's the Dialogue. Dialoge problem A) too many fillers. I mean atleast 100 episodes are fillers. I skipped through many of them! In One Piece however, whether some may argue that there are SOME fillers (never heard anyone argue it though), I disagree and have never skipped a single episode. Not one. The show keeps you interested in every character and every plot line from start to finish. Every thing comes together too even some of the tiniest details. Problem with the Dialogue of Naruto part the fights early on in the show are cool right? Well good luck enjoying them later on. For ages my brothers argued the Might Guy fight against Madara was the best of all time. When I finally got to it, it was 4 episodes of 95% talking and only 5% fighting. No joke. No lie. And every fight in Naruto is like this later in the show. From the akatsuki member Pains death, it is the most boring show to watch ever. Ever. One Piece however, almost zero talk during their fighting scenes! Sure like any anime they do have a tendency to repeat things time to time, but every fight from start to finish is beautiful! Whether it's Luffy or Zoro or Sanji or even Chopper! Every fight is action like it should be. Now that we've got the visually entertaining arguments as to why One Piece is great, let's jump to more detailed arguments. In which I will now compare My Hero Academia to One Piece. After My Hero Academia was suggested by a many many friends, I finally gave it a shot. It's good! But it's lame too. For example ! You remember the amazing episodes in Naruto where it was the exams? The forest fights, the one on one elimination rounds, etc etc? In My Hero Academia they have two different times where they bring exams into the show. And they're both pathetic. Two Heroes have an exam to fight a professional hero. Professional heroes are the mightiest of em all so we're expecting amazing fights right? Wrong. These two guys (whose names I can't even remember which just goes to show...) have powers. One has the ability to make his skin iron tough. Can break through things and take hits like no other. The other has practically the same skill set, through sugar he can gain 10 times his normals strength and speed at the consequence of crashing later. These two face Cemento, a professional hero with the ability to, as one may assume, use cement at his will! Make it hard or let it slime, there's tons he can do! So what happens in this episode you ask? Nothing. For an entire 20 minutes of the show, the two heroes taking the exam punch Cementos cement pillars till they run out of energy and pass out. The end. Period. How pathetic is that? It was the biggest waste of 20 minutes of my life. And all the exams in this show are just like this too so please don't get your hopes up. However ! In One Piece they will show you the true extent of even side characters powers and no fight (other than arguably imo the doflamingo arc) is boring to watch. Not a single one in all 800 plus episodes. The writer and director bring their all into each and every fight in this show whether it's a main character or side character or even small character. You know what, let's even bring Dragon Ball Z into this. You know how ultimately, the idea is Goku or Vegeta or whoever will win, lose, get a new super saoyan mode or whatever, fight then win again, then lose and bam surprise.... new super saiyan form? Or in Naruto all he has to so is say I won't lose and surprise... he doesn't? Well one One Piece, Luffy, just like Naruto and Goku says he will become the best! However unlike the other two, Luffy gets his butt kicked. Multiple times. Multiple multiple times. And unlike Naruto and DBZ where the main characters only lose to stronger villains, in One Piece Luffy has lost to people even wakes than him!! Sometimes he fought for too long and can't keep up anymore so a weak side character will beat him. Sometimes he hasn't ate and it weakens him. Sometimes the other guy just really is stronger than Luffy at the time being. But either way he loses and for multiple reasons almost as if for once an anime is realistic and not stupid fictional like DBZ and Naruto and practically every other anime (other than a very select few). This makes the show that much more entertaining and that much more surprising and different and just a step above all else! Followed by tons of laughter, strong emotions, and love for every character, One Piece delivers imo the best anime of all time. I can argue more but let's be real I've already said tons! I hope you can enjoy this anime as I did, because once you're caught up, you'll be very sad yet happy you made the decision to watch it.

I am only on episode 90 and so far I am loving it. It took a while for the art to grow on me but now it definitely has. The characters and story are very engaging and emotional. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars are that, well, the fights and thing in general are pretty poorly animated. I hope this becomes better and I have hopes that it will.

And it never stops surprising me<3 not only because I admire the creativity of Odaoshi, and you´ll feel like becoming a nakama when the time passes, because your heart will be in One piece and all kind of emotions will be part of it.

The world, its colorful, its varied, and the art style helps a lot to distinguish itself from other Anime. OP doesn't take itself too seriously. You can tell that a sense of fun is important to Oda, even in the most serious arcs.

I Did not like this show for the first 3 years it was out. i just put it off because of the oddness of it. But after i gave it a chance i was hooked. The oddness became more familiar and dulled.

I Did not like this show for the first 3 years it was out. i just put it off because of the oddness of it. But after i gave it a chance i was hooked. The oddness became more familiar and dulled. Ended up watched the entire thing around 10 times over now, including dub, up to date, just to be sure i had all the lore and powers figured out. There was just so much to experience that i was actually excited about watching a show for once in a long, long time. I should point out that i do watch shows on my second monitor while doing other tasks on my main one.

One Piece is a show meant for people who have a lot of time and patience. This show does have its flaws, just like everything else in reality. But there is a charm there that some including myself do not see when we first see this anime. Might be the odd animation style or possibly the few early plot holes that just kinda get swept under the rug by fans. But what really started to catch my attention was the vast potential of richness that could be added to this Dragon quest meets marvel style theme. I will admit that the crew has some annoying traits but i think its a way to show the strengths and weakness of the individuals, in the end giving them a more memorable role.

Some people complain about the personalities. But lets remind our selves that it is supposed to be a crew of misfits that don't belong in normal society.

Some of the best things in this anime "in my opinion" are, the huge cast of memorable people and monsters, very versatile island designs that are progressively more fantastic as the journey continues, skilled voice actors, Increasing large scale battle scenes that start mild but get some what ridicules. Tho the lore had a few mistakes in early seasons they managed to make a very complex and heart worming story that continues to expand and branch out. People tend to mistake story injection episodes for fillers. Normally these episodes are used as a way to fill in the blanks for either something that has already happened or something that will happen. Making them necessary for a long term anime like this. Other wise we wold have people complaining about more plot holes, and i think they learnt from that mistake already

I would suggest watching this in segments and skipping the first 8 min of the show after episode 550ish because it's just recap and intro. <-- very frustrating for many including myself. That being said i don't mind waiting a few weeks to see a larger amount at a time. Hoping Oda corrects this sooner then later.

I know many are turned off by the length and poor art style of the first bunch of episodes, but this is literally the best anime. Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed. The world building and character development in this show is unmatched, I'd equate it to a Game of Thrones level of quality.

I started this due to the reviews-never ever dreamed I would be so caught up in the whole drama of the story. I m up to the Ace execution epic-I avoid tragedy like the plague so I don't cry-I've cried & laughed so much. A pirate story-I can't believe I m loving this!!!

they dragged this show out waaaaaaaaaay to long...........................................................................................................................................................................................................

One Piece is the best Anime!!! I still watch it after years, and I never lost interest. Fillers could be boring at times, you can however jump them if you wish to, but I would say that with fillers you get a better understanding of characters and dynamics.

The only bad note is that , at least from the UK, I am struggling to watch it, it appears to be removed from everywhere. I don't seem to

The Shonen genre is one piece. It takes a unique spin on the genre and has solid characters, an intriguing story. The studio is doing an excellent job with the adaptation as well. As a manga reader I'm very much looking forward to the future of this series.
